"Thanks. It was a pain to learn to sign in cursive, though." Third grade cursive classes were their own headache, but fortunately his mom isn't here to make that pun and make a bad day worse.

"Oh, don't worry. It happens a lot, and I know how much to take. I've always been kind of a sick kid. My dad's a scientist, and a doctor, so he's been treating me. I don't think I really know as much about what's causing them as he does, but I can manage." He's trying for nonchalant, as best he can. The thing is, what he doesn't realize is that to people who haven't been subject to the legendary Dr. Seidelmann charm, 'my dad is treating me' doesn't sound like sufficient medical care. Nor does he realize his knowledge of aspirin might sound weird. "I usually take 400 to 600 mg every four to six hours, unless it's really bad. But an excess of 1000 will always make me tired and I have enough chronic sleep problems as it is, so that's the limit, unless my dad specifically says otherwise."

This is normal, right? Right.
